Front Back
Engineering stress
Sigma=F/Ao
Engineering strain
E=(L-Lo)/Lo
Modulus of Elasticity
E=sigma/e
Yeild point
Answer 4
A strength characteristic of the material, aka yeild strength
Tensile strength
Top of plastic portion of curveTS=Fmax/Ao
Necking
The portion of the elastic curve to the right of TS.
Ductility
The amount of strain that a material can endure before failure. The ability to plastically strain without fracture. Can be calculated with elongation or area reduction.
True stress-strain
If actual (instantaneous) area (for stress) or length(for strain) that becomes increasingly smaller as the test proceeds
Toughness
The ability of material to absorb energy. Roughtly the area under the stress/strain curve
Work hardening
AKA strain hardening, the metal becomes stronger as the strain increases
What happens when true stress strain of the plastic region of the curve is plotted against log-log time
It has a linear relationship
Hardness
Resistance to permanent indentation. Resistant to scratching. Strong correlation between hardness and strength.
If you just consider density and strength, what material is preferrable over what?
Aluminum is prefferable, however, iron and steel are less expensive.
List five metals in order of strength
Aluminum, aluminum alloys, cast iron, steel, titanium alloys
As steel strength increases
Castability, weldability, formatbility, machinability, manufacturability all decrease.
